Wednesday Morning Commute - you can’t bare your bottom

Good morning

The 11th Street Bridge construction team has closed the bike/pedestrian trail that runs between the intersection of 11th & O Streets SE and the Navy Yard Riverwalk East end. The trail will be closed for approximately 3 weeks to facilitate demolition of the old 11th Street bridge. Also, last night, Good Luck road was closed below DC 295.

I actually "competed" against Evelyn Stevens in an event a few years ago. Well, it was a charity time trial event open to anyone, and she completely crushed my time. But my excuse was that I went down the wrong lane near the finish line and wasted almost a minute going back around the fences to cross the finish line properly. At least I can say that I'm one of the few people that got to do an individual bike time trial right down Pennsylvania Ave.
